thank you for your hard work at gain access the these lists. they are extreamly helpful.
I only eat a small amount of candy but our Campus Life club at the local high school we hand out lots of candy to kids. Last week a young lady came up to me, and in a mousie voice said, “I can’t have anything with gluten in it. Do you know what gluten is?”
I laughed at her and in the most cheerful voice I said, “YES!” I totally understand, I too can’t eat gluten!
She smiled at me and run off to join her friends.
just a little story.thank you again!

Hi Alison,

Great list. When we called M&Ms, they said that they shared the same line with the pretzel M&Ms.

Thanks Alison,
I’ve linked your list on our facebook page and plan to include a link on our newsletter. Your list is the most comprehensive I’ve seen. I would however add a disclosure about sizes of candy bars. The CSA has mentioned previously that the mini Hershey bars have an extreme potential for cross-contamination due to the way that they are processed. Additionally, I believe that DIVVIES is produced on equipment that processes wheat and not cleaned thoroughly between batches. I last checked there facility about 16 months ago.
Keep up the awesome work!

Milky ways ARE NOT SAFE! tHEY HAVE MALT IN THEM WHICH IS BARLEY.

Also, Reesees minatures and snack sizes aren’t always safe, they have had wheat listed on the label and I got very sick from it.

Sarah,
You are correct – Milky Way is not GF, but on the list I put Milky Way Midnight and Milky Way Simply Caramel, which do not contain barley malt. I have never heard of Reese’s containing wheat.

Alison,

Thank you for this extensive list. I was pleased to see that some of my favorite candies are GF! Reading the labels can still be confusing.

Thanks So Much,

Barbara

This is a fantastic list. I was at the candy store w my goddaughter, who is gluten free. The one we normally go to, that hands us an approved list, was closed. I was paralyzed with fear thinking we would get something with gluten in it and requested to see a label for every candy she considered. We will take this one with us! Best, “Aunti Mi”

i have noticed many foods have at the bottom of the ingredients – gluten free. wouldn,t it be just the best and easiest for all to do?

Thank you so much for all your research and hard work. This is a wonderful resource to have at my disposal. This was a gift…truly.
